Although using the fingertip to palpate the trachea and endotracheal tube is a useful technique to locate the tip of the endotracheal tube during the procedure, it is unreliable, particularly in patients with short and thick necks. Bronchoscopic guidance of PCT is generally recommended to minimize the risk of unintentional tracheal injury. The use of a fibreoptic bronchoscope may be helpful [14-18]. However, it is an expensive tool which is not readily available in some centers. Video guidance provides a cost-effective alternative to bronchoscopes, that may also reduce the risk of procedure-related complications such as paratracheal insertion of the tracheostomy tube, tracheal injury or cuff puncture [19].
